Jody Guralnick - As Close as Breath

In 2026, Jody Guralnick invites to a fascinating dive into the invisible networks of our planet. The artist explores the complexity of the “Fifth Kingdom” ecosystems – mosses, lichens, molds and fungal mycelia – through paintings with rich textures and imposing dimensions. His approach, rooted in ecological taxonomy and citizen science, reveals a beauty often overlooked at the heart of nature. Guralnick maps these symbiotic structures with a keen eye for scientific observation, transforming microscopic organisms into spectacular works of art. This exhibition at Nancy Hoffman Gallery offers a new perspective on the interdependence of life and the importance of protecting the microbiomes that shape our world. A dialogue between contemporary art and environmental science, accessible to all.
